We bought an RV from a guy at an auction. We paid for the RV and the taxes that day. We did not have the title transferred into our names and now the guy has filed bankruptcy and the courts want us to give the RV back. What can we do?
ANSWER Hi Abby, I am very sorry to hear that you are going through this. Unfortunately, I am not an attorney and would not even attempt to give you legal advice on this issue. You are going to need to hire an attorney immediately to get this resolved. I am not sure how much you paid for this RV at auction, but you are now going to have to add legal costs into the purchase price of the RV.
You do not say what type of auction you bought the RV from. Was it at an auto auction? Was this guy in charge of the auction? If you bought this at an auction run by an established auction company, you may have some legal recourse against that auction company, but only an attorney can tell you if you have a case. If the person that you bought this RV from was running the auction, you may be out of luck.
